Written and designed for quick access to straightforward, accurate information on entry-level jobs and corporate training programs, The JobVault delivers discerning - and informedly opinionated - reviews of more than 100,000 job opportunities in over 100 industries. It's here and nowhere else: from company statistics (size, age, published salary ranges) to the inside scoop on corporate culture (realistic career trajectories, dress codes, average working hours, and a "busywork" quotient) to the resume, cover letter, and interview strategies that bring results in each industry. An original Mariner paperback.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The authors of the well-known Princeton Review Internship Bible (Random, 1995) have created an interesting and worthwhile publication for job seekers. Similar to Jack Plunket's The Almanac of American Employers 1996-97 (LJ 9/1/97), their work profiles more than 500 U.S. employers?their idea of the best places to work. A brief directory format gives up-to-date statistics, including industries, addresses, phone numbers, job hot lines, web and E-mail addresses, major hiring departments, annual incomes, numbers of employees, and names of CEOs. Evaluation appears in sections covering "Uppers" and "Downers"; the best and worst aspects of working for a company; "Getting Hired"; assessments of actual hiring criteria; "Our Survey Says"; the inside world, which resulted from interviewing thousands of employees; and measurements in five areas: pay, hours, dress code, job satisfaction, and resume radiance (how closely companies look at resumes). Interspersed throughout are single-page entries ranging from biographies to highlighted job sources. Recommended as an inexpensive addition to career collections.?Marilyn Rosenthal, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden City, N.Y.

The best book in our career library,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Job Vault: The One-Stop Job Search Resource (Vault Reports Career Guides) (Paperback)
I work in the career placement office at Rutgers and the Job Vault has been the most popular book on our shelves. It has an insider's perspective that the students here seem to love. In fact, we're on to our second copy (the first was permanently "borrowed" from our office).
